A depressed Russian engineer built a macabre homemade guillotine to commit suicide in his bedroom, Pravda reported Tuesday.
Troubled Albert Repin told his parents he was building a closet at their Moscow home.
But behind his locked bedroom door, the 47-year-old divorced man was secretly building a chilling replica of the 18th century killing machine -- famously used to behead enemies of the French Revolution.
Repin spent several days assembling his DIY guillotine out of plywood, rope, and metal sheeting.
Finally, he climbed into position before cutting the rope to release the heavy, makeshift blade.
"The guillotine did not cut off his head completely only because the metal was not sharpened," a local police spokesman said.
Repin's parents asked his brother to kick down the bedroom door when he wouldn't respond to calls.
The shocked sibling burst in to find Repin's body slumped beside the horrifying execution device, Pravda said.
Relatives say he never got over his divorce, which happened several years ago.
I’m serious. :)
True that. Joe is one twisted individual.
News headline: "Trebuchet owner, dispairing to reach a mile in distance, ends it all by launching self"...
And sadly, I would miss my goal as my lard-butt would never travel as far a medium sized pumpkin.

Just a little reminder.....Jesus loves ya; has some broad shoulders, too. No need to carry all that baggage alone. God bless.
